Is This Season Of 'Big Brother' The Most Racially-Charged Viewers Have Ever Seen?

As a super-fan of the show "Big Brother," I am very disappointed in this season.

If you aren't familiar with the show it is simply a game show where several people are stuck in a house together and they must compete in competitions to win special powers and one houseguest gets voted out each week.

It's like "Survivor" but in a huge house.

For the people who are fans of the show, they know that this season feels a bit different than others.

Usually, the house is divided into the traditionally "popular" people and the "outcasts", but this year it seems like the people of color are being targeted simply for being a different ethnicity than the Caucasian house guests.

When one houseguest has been chosen to be the "camp director" and has to choose four other houseguests to put up he chooses the only two African American people in the house, the plus-size Latina woman, and the older man. Coincidence? I think not.

If that doesn't scream discrimination I don't know what does.

For the superfans like me that stay up to date with the live feeds, there have been several clips floating around of one houseguest, Jack, saying the "n" word. There are other videos proving him making fun of other houseguests weight and even calling one houseguest a "brown flame". He seems to be the leader of the alliance Gr8ful who has been targeting people of different ethnicities. He has already forced the first weeks HOH Christie to target and send out Ovi, a houseguest who is Bangladesh–American, and when he won HOH the second week he sent home Kemi the last standing African American female in the house.

CBS seems to be covering this all up as well by making Jack seem like this likable houseguest when in reality he is quite the opposite.

We will see how the rest of this season plays out, but I will say that I hope that CBS will address this or at least do something about the blatant racism that is happening in the house.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
